5k's

Below are links to various 5k races around town in the coming months.  I think I'll sign up for at least one a month to keep motivated.  Consider which ones you might be interested and let me know.

Also, next time I see you I have your goodie bag from the Terrapin 5k, including your t-shirt, bottle, etc.  I did, however, use the tags on your bib to get an extra beer and pizza!
